Ellis got slaughtered by fans for a lot less than what the cretinous Lerner has put us through lately. It seems the fans are nearly as apathetic as the owner.
Problem is, he's never there.
So he won't give a fuck anyway.
And he's used to angry fans from his ownership of the Brownshits, or whatever they're called.

Was going to add something similar

Maybe he hasn't been sacked because we won the game. Had Bradford done the double on us things might be different. Then again.

How can anyone still say he's a good coach ?

Tactically woeful .


With a total lack of any motivation or leadership.

His tactics after Bradford equalised were beyond ridiculous. The man is inept. He hasn't the decency or dignity to resign so he must be sacked. I'm amazed he's still in a job considering how just mind boggling bad he's been this season.

If that's a factor in Lambert still being here then Lerner is a bigger idiot than I thought possible.  The task in hand last night was to get through, not merely win the game.  The win counts for absolutely fuck all.

What concerns me most with that Beeb article is the statement that we may not get any new players in.  WTF is going on.  Its like a conspiracy by Lerner and Lambert to get us relegated.

I really don’t know about Lambert after last night, looked like he just hasn’t a clue. Just have to hope he has enough in him to turn it around, there is a good manager in there somewhere.

He won’t be getting sacked and it seems unlikely we will be signing anyone.

At this rate  not only do I think we will be relegated, I think we will finish bottom.

Playing almost the entire second half with no midfield just summed up Lambert, clueless. Haven't seen that kind of football since school days, defence blasting the ball up to a gaggle of forwards hoping for a bounce of deflection to go your way.

That's exactly what I thought. It was like a football match played by school kids in a playground.
Embarrassing, humiliating stuff. I'd sack him for that reason alone.

I agree. I know it is difficult to select a replacement that would suit everyone but I think it has got to the point where the act of just removing Lambert itself may stop the decline.

If you read his comments on the OS, they weren't playing to instruction they just lost their discipline and to a certain extent their bottle. It's down to leadership on the pitch. Of course, it's his responsibility to ensure that leadership is in place in the long term but during the course of a game there's not a lot a manager can do about it.

He's a very lucky man at the moment. There's no other club in the country producing such appalling results that haven't pulled the trigger.

If Mcleish hadn't of happened then Lambert would already be on his bike. I don't think Lerner can afford to sack another manager and the upheaval again.
